Super Alternative

January 28, 2000|By Monica Eng.

So you're a fan of Wilco, the Waco Brothers and Red Red Meat, but since you became a parent you just don't get out to see bands like you used to. Well, here's your chance to make everyone happy AND get home in time to see the Super Bowl. It's the Wiggleworms Dads in Concert shows at the Old Town School of Folk Music Sunday afternoon starring the lead singers of each of the above bands. For those who don't know, Wiggleworms is an Old Town School class that introduces tots -- 6 months to 3 years old -- to music through games and sing-a-longs. Because they're real dads of Wiggleworms students, Jeff Tweedy, Jon Langford and Tim Rutili should be pros at leading kids' tunes (with an alt-country rock twist) while tots in the crowd sing/babble, do circle dances and play rhythm instruments. The school is at 4544 N. Lincoln Ave. Show times: 2 and 4 p.m. Tickets: $8-$10 (773-728-6000 or on Ticketweb www.ticketweb.com).
